In a stunning development, Premier League champions Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt for the transfer of star forward Omar Marmoush, a source close to the negotiations has revealed to ESPN. The 25-year-old Egypt international, who has taken the German top-flight by storm since arriving at Frankfurt just 18 months ago, is now expected to make the switch to the Etihad Stadium in the January transfer window.
A Prolific Scorer Ready for the Big Stage
Marmoush has been in scintillating form for Frankfurt this season, netting an impressive 15 goals in just 17 Bundesliga appearances. His overall tally stands at 20 goals across all competitions, building on the 17 strikes he managed in 41 games last term. The Egyptian’s prolific scoring record and dynamic playing style have caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe, but it appears Manchester City have won the race for his signature.
What Marmoush Brings to Manchester City
The acquisition of Marmoush would provide Manchester City with a potent attacking option to complement their already star-studded forward line. His ability to score goals consistently, coupled with his speed, skill, and versatility, make him an ideal fit for Pep Guardiola’s fluid and dynamic playing style. With City competing on multiple fronts domestically and in Europe, Marmoush’s arrival would offer valuable squad depth and a fresh threat in the final third.
Omar is a special talent with a rare combination of attributes that make him a nightmare for defenders. His pace, movement, and clinical finishing would be a huge asset to any team, and I have no doubt he would excel in the Premier League with a club like Manchester City.

The Final Pieces of the Puzzle
While the finer details of the agreement are yet to be concluded, the source has indicated that Marmoush has expressed a clear desire to join Manchester City, and the framework of his personal terms has already been agreed upon. City are expected to pay a significant transfer fee to secure the Egyptian’s services, as they look to reinforce their squad in their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple this season.
